Ice Season 30 – Snooker Player

Ice Season 30 is under way. Nothing different from the previous Ice Season other than the Grand Prize loot, which is a Snooker Player.

Snooker (UK /ˈsnuːkər, -kə/^[1] or US /ˈsnʊkər/)^[2] is a cue sport that is typically played on a table covered with a green cloth or baize, with pockets situated in each of the four corners and a further two, commonly referred to as the middle, or side pockets, that sit in the middle of each of the long side cushions. The (baize) cloth on a snooker table has a directional nap running from the balk end of the table towards the end with the (black ball) spot. This affects how a ball rolls depending on which direction it is hit or shot. A regular (full-size) table is 12 × 6 ft (3.7 × 1.8 m). It is played using a cue and 22 snooker balls: one white cue ball, 15 red balls worth one point each, and six balls of different colours: yellow (2 points), green (3), brown (4), blue (5), pink (6) and black (7).^[3] A player (or team) wins a frame (individual game) of snooker by scoring more points than the opponent(s), using the cue ball to pot the red and coloured balls. A player receives additional points if the opponent commits a foul or fails to escape from a snooker. A player wins a match when a certain number of frames have been won.

The tier prizes are as follows;

Q: What is The Accomplice? When will it start?
A: The Accomplice is a limited-time event where you can gain additional XP from fights in Chicago with the help of your friends who play Mafia Wars.

The event will start on September 19, 2013 and will end on October 04, 2013 and will be applicable only for Fights in Chicago.

Q: How do I access the Event? How does it work?
A: Please travel to Chicago and click on Fight to access The Accomplice.

You can also access The Accomplice and Gracias Collection through the Home Page module.

You will notice the change in Fight screen for Chicago with a pre-populated list of Accomplices from your Facebook friend list who will last for a certain number of fights and will help you earn additional XP.

Your friends will also see you as an Accomplice when they fight in Chicago and can benefit from you in the form of additional XP.

Please note that best available Accomplice (in other words, the most active Accomplice) will be selected by default.

You also have an option to pick your own Accomplice before starting a Fight.

Hover over the image of any Accomplice to find out how many fights they will last and help you earn additional XP.

When you attack an opponent, you will see a screen which shows you the amount of XP received from the selected Accomplices:

Q: How is the extra XP calculated?
A: Each Accomplice will give you 1 extra XP per Fight. Total XP earned will depend on the total number of Accomplice available to you, their Mafia Wars activity level and your Level.

Once you have received all the XP from an Accomplice, you can choose to thank them with a Mystery Gift before selecting your next Accomplice.

Q: Can I thank the Accomplices automatically without having to manually select them?
A: Yes, you can choose to automatically thank your Accomplices and use them. Thanking an Accomplice will send them a Mystery Gift, which can be used to Vault the Gracias Collection.

Please check mark the option as shown below:

You will receive a Facebook prompt when you thank your Accomplice, please check the box shown below to avoid the prompt again:

Q: How will my activity appear to my friends in The Accomplice event? How can I check this?
A: To check how your daily activity in Mafia Wars reflects to your friends in The Accomplice, please visit the Daily Take feature through Home Page module.

Q: What if I do not have any Accomplices actively playing Mafia Wars?
A: If you have less than 50 Accomplices to choose from, the Mini Boss will fill-in for the remaining slots. Every Mini boss will give you benefits equal to one day.

Q: Is there a limit on the XP which I can earn through my Accomplice?
A: Yes, you can benefit from a maximum of 50 Accomplices every 8 hours. After every 8 hours, the list of available Accomplice will be refreshed.

The number of additional XP you can earn through your Accomplice depends on the number of fights they will last which in turn depends on your Level and the days your Accomplice has been active.
